  1. Hi shoes ur all set then ah im doing ok but need a fill big time getting it next thurs in dublin upper pembroke street €120 he comes first thursday of every month and it doesnt come quick enough im in bits at the mo just found out my dog was shot chasin sheep i was so attached to him so i ate a full pack of choc chip cookies and another packet of bars how clever am i i just said fuck this and ate away but their all ate now so back to being good
  2. Yeah once he says everything is ok go and book ur travel but if i were u id keep mailing til u get reply as for diet sheets and stuff u dont get any of that til u go to belgium u could always ring him but id just bombard him with emails he can be so slow to mail back
  3. Hi shoes thats great u got ur date its just a count down for u now... Remember frederik can take his time mailing u back dont be afraid to mail him again at any stage remind him ur there lol least u and sammy will be able to meet up and have a bit of support the day of the op
  4. God it must depend on the nurse cos there was no mention of me taking my knickers off and i didnt ask either i know anyone who i was speaking to kept theirs on so i dunno oh i would die if i had to strip god what a sight
  5. Hey sammy accepted u on facebook lol i love to put a face to conversation lol
  6. Hi sparky my ideal size is a comfortable 14 i think at 6ft if i was smaller id look like a lanky bean pole and i like girls with a tiny bit of meat dont like real thin at all lol
  7. Ah sammy im the same i havnt told anyone about the band except some of my family i would die if anyone knew they'd just think lazy easy way out little do they know lol i havnt many pics either but il mail u my email and u can have a nosy i want to lose at least 8stone so half way there but would like maybe 9.5stone off but im 6ft so 8st could well be enough
  8. Ah i put on over 10lbs over xmas i was in liverpool 5nights for new yrs eve i dont think all the drink and late night kebabs helped i never thought id get back on track it was just like being on another diet but i had my fill 3days after i came back and i lost all my xmas weight within the wk after fill i find i can still eat a fair bit not as much as before but im not hungry really and having 3meals a day which i could never stick to so i know its helping just wana get to sweet spot now
  9. Ah sparky i know how u feel i only got .5ml last time i had absolutely no restriction before that but it made a difference i never thought so little would so iv my fingers crossed the next fill will do it for me too this band is hard work but im like u i lost weight down to my own good behaviour but since last fill it has got a little easier so i do believe if we get a good fill we wont know ourselves and will really help us before last fill i was in worst of form i never thought it would start to work
  10. Ah im sure it wont be a prob him visting with the baby ask fred to book a extra night for u shouldnt be much extra... Do u have much to lose? are u on facebook or bebo? Hi TC yeah u get to keep ur knickers on lol
  11. Sorry cant say i know of any i just ate in hotel not the fanciest of food but i had spicy cheese burger and chips lol yum yum i want one now remember try get hotel in vilvoorde area as thats where hospital is brussels is a good bit out from it but then again u'l have ur own driver so it shouldnt be a issue lol
  12. Sammy the evening before u shoud defo have ur favourite meal or maybe steak or a burger or something cos u mite not have it again for a while lol
  13. Well done sparky for gettin so much out of 2fills like i said earlier i begged for more and fred brushed it off saying he only allowed give certain amount each time so 4fills later i only have 5.75mls il be looking more at my fill next month lol do u mind me asking was it chris or fred who done ur fills ?
  14. Hi sammy well i lost 12lbs the first wk of surgery due to being on liquids i have to admit i dint do a pre op diet and the day before the op i ate for ireland im not advisin it but dr chris has said himself he has never turned away anyone once they got to belgium and i know other girls who had take away every night for 2wks before the op if ur anyway good and eating healthy enough i wouldnt really worry bout it (i shouldnt be saying that lol) but dr chris just asks for a low fat diet... he said it doent matter if u dont lose weight just that low fat diet will reduce fatty liver and god i would of loved to be able to lie back in the car for my trip home so lucky u...
  15. Hey sparky just to let u know frederik told me and another girl if u dont have ANY restriction after ur 3rd fill ur 4th fill would be free so if i were u id mail him and say u have no restriction i got my 4th fill free as i had no restriction and when he checked the mls in my band i had .5ml less than supposed to so he obviously didnt get it all in on 3rd fill just thought id give ya that wee tip save ur self the price of a fill as u have no restriction so get mailing fred lol
  16. Ah Cherryhog if ur bmi is 39 chris would defo do the op if i were u id just mail him and go from there see how u feel and see about the waiting list on nhs its impossible to get the op in ireland for free unless ur prepared to wait 5yrs or more and attend clinics and dieticians in dublin im not even sure if their still providing the op at all now but the way i looked at it i was ready to lose weight il be 26in october and want to be celebrating as a slimmer young girl so i went for dr chris i just thought no point waiting and being unhappy i must say i had the op purely for vanity reasons i just want to look good and be a normal young girl wearing nice clothes i really was so unhappy and concious of my weight but i know by the time im 26 i should be happy and alot thinner im rambling again lol
  17. Hi Kath just wondering about ur band do u have a 10ml band just wondering cos i had 4fills and only at 5.75mls i begged for more as i was getting no restriction but frederik said their only allowed put so much in at a time i was so mad and even worse now that i see u have so much after 3fills he was obviously telling lies
  18. Hi sammy iv never had a problem getting a fill appointment though i go to dublin clinic to see dr chris fills are €120 i think he only accepts euro but not sure as for fills once u have restriction u dont need anymore fills as long as ur happy wit level of restriction but u go every month until ur happy with the level or reach ur sweet spot i personally didnt bother with travel insurance
  19. Im in louth female 25.... I went with aer lingus into brussels as thats the airport the taxi collects u from if u go wit ryanair the airport u go to is a good bit out and taxi cost 150euro if u dont want getting buses and stuff i stayed in campanile in vilvorde its close to hospital and clean thats where most of the patients for the op stay as brussels city is a fair distance away from hospital the day of op and day after i just felt weak and nauseous but most people is grand but 4nights after op i was sleeping on my belly lol i had no pain really just weak and nauseous along with swollen and bruised first 2wks after op i stayed on liquids then i done 2wks mushies and then solids once again everyone is different to the foods they tolerate after the op i can eat everything really except sometimes meat gets stuck and since last fill i cant really eat bread thank god cos it was a weakness of mine i loved bread but like i said everyone is different like today i had special k and hot milk for brekkie 1potato cabbage and a bit of donegal catch for dinner and i had weight watchers meal for tea hope that gives u some idea
  20. Shoes do u mind me askin where ur from Male/Female?
  21. Hi i forwarded a €400 deposit to dr chris 2wks before i went and payed the night before in belgium the rest of the money yes u have consultation night before eh i had no complications at all thank god as for restriction u go for ur fill every month until u get it i just havnt reached the right level yet which is common some people might be restricted enough with 3mls fill where as others it mite be 7mls and u only get a certain amount of fill each time as its very easy to be overfilled my fills were as follows 3mls 2mls .75mls (of which he only got .25ml in) so my last fill i got .5ml which has taken me up to 5.75mls i defo think my next fill will be the one as i had absolutely NO restriction and since i got half ml i have a tiny bit so id say one more fill and that'l be me just everyone is different as far as fills go
  22. Hi shoes i had the op on 5th september iv lost 4st 3lbs so far have to admit its not as easy as quick working as i thought it would be iv worked damm hard to get the weight off i havnt got restriction yet but im hoping il get some with my next fill so its all down to me at the min to not eat trash and keep the weight down but i have to say im really glad i got the band i think its scared me into eating more sensable and putting me on the right track but i know once i get good restriction it will leave things easier to lose the weight but its the best thing i have done i defo wouldnt of lost weight without it. i never dremt of going abroad for surgery i always thought people were mad to do it but if i had to do it again i would only go to dr chris after all hes one of europes top obesity surgeons and the hospitals are so much cleaner than here no mrsa or anything im prob rambling on here im trying to think is there anything im leaving out lol
  23. Hi shoes i booked directly with dr chris and his management the cost was €4070 includes op hospital xray and all tests taxi from airport to hotel and hotel to hospital and return journeys and 3nights in hotel for u and a friend partner all u have to pay extra for is flights i went with package as it saved me having to book everything myself it was great u mail dr chris himself and tel him ur interested in op id also ask what is the earliest date he would have if u want it soon u'd prob be waiting 5wks anyway his email is chris.debruyne@advalvas.be he usually mails back quick enough and then he'l have frederik mail u offering u the package and more info on the op dr chris will ask u few health questions as well oh and if u decide o not go with package op costs between €3450 and €3950 depending on weight and stuff but id recommend the package hope this helps think i have everything there lol
  24. Hi cherry so far as i know if u have a bmi over 30 dr chris would do op but not 100% sure of that if u mail dr chris he will give u all the info
